Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning the appliance

• For safety reasons, you should unplug
the appliance from the mains electricity
supply before cleaning.
• The appliance can be cleaned with a
cloth or sponge, slightly warm water
and a mild detergent.
• Never use hot water (more than 40ºC),
bleach, petrol, acid, scouring pads,
brushes or strong detergents. Prevent
water from entering the appliance.
• Do not clean the appliance with a water
hose or compressed air.
Cleaning and changing the
purifying filters
To change the purifying filter, it is first
necessary to open the front flap on the
appliance (it is not necessary to remove
it). The user should lift the flap slightly
holding it on the sides, see Fig. 29. The
flap can be opened up to the safety stop
without risk of falling.

All models are fitted with a basic filter
which needs to be cleaned regularly,
Fig. 30. The filter is accessed by pressing
the tab at the top and removing it from its
housing, Fig. 31. The filter is cleaned
under a cold tap, dried and replaced.

Warning! Do not try to clean the basic
filter in a dishwasher. The plastic on
the basic filter is not suitable for
dishwashers and is unable to
withstand the high temperatures
involved in washing programmes. It
will deform and may even break.

The purifying filter supplied with the
appliance (according to models) is to be
fitted by the user (See "Fitting the
purifying filter (double active").
The purifying filter further purifies the air
in the room which passes through the
appliance.
When the purifying filter is fitted, the
appliance's cooling capacity may drop
slightly. This is particularly the case when
the filter is saturated or damaged. It is,
therefore, recommended that you check
and change the filter at least once a year.
(These accessories are available for
purchase from the Manufacturer's Official
Technical Service and authorised
distributors). See "Description of
accessories".
Fitting the purifying filter (double active)
• Check that the purifying filter is fitted in
the positioner. If it is not, fit as shown
on Fig 32
